With all the emphasis on "Trawlers"
as the basis for cruising powerboats, I realized peopled needed
to know about the west coast TROLLERS, the best small seaboats
there ever was. I believe a "troller yacht" in most
cases makes more sense for cruising than a "trawler yacht;"
there is a difference! This book talks about systems, design,
materials, back-up sail, building, and even the pros and cons
of converting an old fishboat. It discusses the concept of the
cruising powerboat from a "practical" and even cost
conscious, perspective. $25.95. Add $4 for US Postage, $9 to Europe and S. America, $12 to the Pacific. |

Starting with tools: "... the true crafsman
is a rare bird; no more in tune with the Cosmos than you, just
more patient..." to instructions for the proper use of alcohol
at the launch, this book guides you step by step through the
process of building a real sea-going cruising boat. Written from
the novel point of view of keeping costs down and having fun,
this is, if you'll pardon me, the BEST "how-to" book
since "Volkswagon Repair For The Compleat Idiot." There's
160 pages of drawings and photos, and even complete plans ranging
from a 28' cutter to a 55' displacement power boat. |
